Hi Matthew

I'll have to leave an explanation of this to the more knowledgeable, but the
main problem seems to be starting the piece with an \acciaccatura. Doing
this causes problems elsewhere (eg tuplets). Try removing it and the
overrides then seem to work. Seems like the voice-context overrides have
nowhere to go if the first note is an acciaccatura and have no effect. A
work-around is to place all the voice-context overrides in the Staff context
so they apply to all voices.

The automatic beam breaking by acciaccaturas looks like a lost cause, but
manual overrides is a (painful) work-around for this.
